discussion Where DO dropped pieces go?!!

[Gern]

Have you guys noticed how selective the Carpet Monster is?

If you drop some sort of greeblie like a small bit of sprue connecting parts together or one of those little round bits attached to help the plastic fill the mould, the carpet monster will always pick those up and put them literally right in front of your eyes when you go to pick them up?

Yes Dave......all too often that is the case. :thinking:

Ah yes, the old tweezer launcher, know it well, I like Joes Idea of the vacuum with a bit of stocking on the nozzle.
Thank God I'm not a micro-technocrat, if I lose a small piece I just throw a piece of tarp or camo net or some other hunk
of junk over it. Or chalk it up to battle damage.

I have indoor outdoor type carpet in the model shop with a very tight weave which not even the tiniest piece could
penetrate, also eliminating bounce....one would think.
And yes it is true, don't even waste time looking for it, just get the wife and she will find it in short order every time.
I'm still looking for my cup....full of tea!

Don't worry it'll turn up once it's gone cold and developed a skin.
